Candler offers lay courses for spring

Six short-term courses promoting a deeper understanding of faith issues
are being offered in 1998-99 by faculty members of the Candler School. Held
in the evenings or on weekends, the courses are conducted through the school's
Lay Theology Institute (LTI).

LTI courses provide opportunity for personal growth regardless of religious
or academic background by exploring Christian themes in an ecumenical context.
Four of the courses meet from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. for six Tuesdays. The two
weekend courses meet Friday evening and during the day on Saturday. The
courses, instructors, dates and sites are as follows:

Images of Christ in World Christianity, M. Thomas Thangaraj, D.W. and
Ruth Brooks Associate Professor of World Christianity. April 23-24. Druid
Hills United Methodist Church, 1200 Ponce de Leon Ave.

Cost is $45 per course with registration at least a week in advance ($50
at the door); members of partner congregations and the Emory community pay
only $35 ($40 at the door). Each course carries the option of one continuing
education unit (CEU).

LTI is a program of Candler's Office of Church Ministries Education.
